Wink Day+27

Thank you Cheryl, and keep warm AND DRY down there!

Day 27, still running a low grade fever, some constipation, belly pain, backache and nausea.
Seems like any kind of smell can trigger gagging, dry heaves, and my stomache to overturn. I've even changed my bathing soap, because I couldn't stand the smell of the old one. And don't get me started on meal times.

The nurses are great, from supplying me with those heated pillows for my back, to making sure I take my meds regularly.
The doctors on the other hand seem more interested in preventing infections, since I get anti-biotics, anti-fungals on the drip, and CT scans every few days.

Otherwise I am taking one day at a time, counts are:
WBC: 10.4 H
RBC: 2.98 L
hgb 9.4 L
htc 27.8 L
Plts 200
and some more for anyone interested in the differentiated counts,
Segs 64.5
Eos 2.0
Bas 0.5
Mono 9.0
Lym 18 L

I do "workouts" everyday for 20 minutes with the hospital trainer, mostly training my legs and feet muscles, and do the gym bike.

For food, I can tolerate soups, salads, and fruits. By tolerate, I mean I can eat it, it doesn't necessarily mean the food tastes good.
Hope my post helps those preparing for their own sct! You will get there, and maybe in even better shape than me!
Meri
